National Geographic 114/900 Reflector Telescope with 900 mm focal length, 675× magnification, and AZ mount — a real entry-level reflector for young astronomers aged 12 and up.
National Geographic 114/900 Reflector Telescope – Powerful Entry-Level Astronomy for Young Explorers
The National Geographic 114/900 Reflector Telescope is a compact Newtonian reflector designed for beginners and young astronomers. With a 114 mm aperture and 900 mm focal length, it delivers bright, detailed views of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects from suburban backyards.
900 mm focal length provides up to 675× magnification for close-up lunar and planetary detail
114 mm aperture gathers enough light for clear views of Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands, and bright nebulae
AZ mount offers smooth, intuitive tracking — no polar alignment required, ideal for first-time users
Suitable for ages 12 and up, making it a perfect starter telescope for school projects and family stargazing
What makes the 114/900 Reflector stand out
As a reflector telescope, it uses a primary mirror instead of lenses, which eliminates chromatic aberration and keeps the tube compact at just over 7 kg. The AZ mount is deliberately simple — children and teenagers can set it up and start observing within minutes, without needing to learn complex alignment procedures.
Ideal for...
Young astronomy enthusiasts aged 12 and older, school science clubs, and families looking for a first telescope that balances ease of use with genuine observational capability. It is not a toy — it is a real scientific instrument scaled for smaller hands and shorter attention spans.
Application of the National Geographic 114/900 Reflector Telescope
Set up the tripod on a stable surface and attach the optical tube
Insert the lowest-power eyepiece for a wide, easy-to-find view of the Moon
Use the red dot finder to centre bright objects, then switch to higher magnification

The 900 mm focal length and 114 mm aperture are well suited for lunar craters, Jupiter's cloud bands and Galilean moons, Saturn's rings, and bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Yes. The AZ mount requires no polar alignment, and the included red dot finder makes it easy to locate objects. The telescope is recommended for ages 12 and up, but younger children can use it with adult supervision.
The maximum usable magnification is 675×, achieved with the included eyepieces. The lowest magnification provides a wide field of view for finding objects, while the highest magnification reveals fine planetary detail.
The set includes the optical tube, AZ mount with tripod, two eyepieces, a red dot finder, and a Barlow lens for increased magnification.
Yes. The 114/900 Reflector can be used for terrestrial observation during the day with an erecting eyepiece or diagonal, making it versatile for both astronomy and nature watching.
